The Vice-President of Namibia is the acting President of Namibia when the President is outside the country's borders, unable to fulfill the duties of the office, or when the Presidency is vacant. The Vice-President is also a member of the National Assembly and the Cabinet. The Vice-President is constitutionally required to 'assist the President in the execution of the functions of government,' and may be assigned any government portfolio by presidential proclamation.

The position of Vice-President was established in 2014 along with several other constitutional amendments. The position is controversial due to its unclear portfolio. The current Vice-President, appointed by President Hage Geingob is Nickey Iyambo.
